Round 9: Swans v Pies.

[stevoswan]

ABC Grandstand commentators are saying our defensive work is terrible at the moment.

We are being outplayed but this umpiring is horrendous

[Legs Akimbo]

Sorry but papley being paid hilding the ball just theyln is utterly crazy absurd.

The umpires are the least of our problems

Another stinker in Sydney against Collingwood... it was odds on surely!

Before we start arguing about umpiring, it’s worth noting that Parker was so holding the ball on the Western wing and got away with it.

You win some, you lose some.

Well I will bite BS.

I have no idea what holding the ball is any more. Sidebottom spun around a couple of times and drops the ball. Papley tackled for 1/3 of the time with no real prior opportunity - gone.

I hope Longmire gives them a serious bake. Lazy, undisciplined rabble.

We're winning the "Dinky little kicks, poorly executed, to no one in particular" stat.

Completely agree. Let’s play better before we start complaining about the umpires. We are not running hard enough without the ball.

[troyjones2525]

We are back to the not looking like kicking 5 goals a game team! Outnumbered 2 to 1 in our forward line.

McLean playing well - no goals but looks a bit more assertive around the ground - good to see.

I wouldn’t say that. We’ve had 3 goals kicked against us that were the direct result of dubious umpiring. They missed Rampe getting shoved out of the contest (two hands in the back), after which DeGoey kicked his first. The other 2 resulted directly from soft frees in front of goal.

If only our forwards were treated in a similar manner.

[stevoswan]

Our inside 50 efficiency is 30.8%. Terrible.

Still I am amazed by our home ground advantage. De Geoy gets a free kick and goal because Rampe chopped the arms. Franklin has his arms chopped and its play on. We always get the worse of the umpiring at the SCG. Why?

[gloveski]

Cunningham by foot is atrocious, every week sides like the ball in his hand . Cant kick over a jam jar so does dinky little kicks that often miss a target . Good shutdown defender but not someone we want as a playmaker off half back
